Each book in the Four Letter Word Series is a standalone but the books are meant to be read in order as the first three books take place during the same time unless you don’t mind mini spoilers from the other books. Book four, The Ways of Love, takes place a year after the first three.
TWOL can stand fully on its on but, it is still recommended to read book two, A Toxic Kind of Love, prior as the main characters of this book first appeared there.
